Indeed many of the exhibitors draw their ideas from far-away cultures. Madona Cole of North Bellmore, a native of Sierra Leone who studied in Britain before coming to the United States, combines African, European and American designs to create her "wearable art." Cole paints and dyes fine fabrics like silk and linen to make one-of-a-kind clothes, home fashions and wall hangings.
"I call it contemporary as well as multi-ethnic," Cole said of her work. "I introduce my culture into my art and my aim is to have people from all parts of the world see themselves in what I do. The imagination I stretch as far as I can."
